The Problem with Twitter

In Beyond Social Media, Doc Searls offre alla nostra attenzione questa tabellina:

Servizio	Open Protocol
email	SMTP POP3 IMAP MIME
blog	HTTP XML RSS Atom
podcast	RSS
instant messaging	IRC XMPP SIP/SIMPLE
twitter	--
facebook	--
friendfeed	--

Dice Doc:

"Personal and social go hand-in-hand, but the latter builds on the former.

Today in the digital world we still have very few personal tools that work only for us, are under personal control, are NEA, and are not provided as a grace of some company or other. (If you can only get it from somebody site, it ain’t personal.) That’s why I bring up email, blogging, podcasting and instant messaging. Yes, there are plenty of impersonal services involved in all of them, but those services don’t own the category. We can swap them out. They are, as the economists say, substitutable."

Come al solito, la discussione prosegue anche su friendfeed....
